In race 11, approaching the windward mark Yann Guichard's Groupe Edmond de Rothschild hit Franck Cammas' Groupama 40 wiping out both rudders, leaving Groupama with no steerage whatsoever. Groupama 40 were heading straight for the shore at speed and for safety the crew leapt into the water to avoid the impact of hitting the rocks -- deciding they would prefer getting wet than being thrown forward on the boat and potentially injuring themselves.

You can't drop the main sail and dump the jib? A good pair of snips would have slowed it down quite a bit more IMHO.

That sucks... it really looks like they had no time to do anything at all. Am I assuming that the main sheet was released all the way? Im sure they did everything they could to minimize the speed. That boat can take some shot! It looks like the bows weren't really compromised and taking water... try that with a feather weight monohull :)
